MOHAVE COUNTY ORDINANCE NO. 2012-02
AN ORDINANCE AMENDING THE MOHAVE COUNTY ZONING ORDINANCE SECTION
18, REGULATIONS FOR MULTIPLE-RESIDENTIAL OR "R-M" ZONE, TO ALLOW
ACCESSORY STRUCTURES.
WHEREAS, at the regular meeting of the Mohave County Board of Supervisors held on July 2,
2012, a public hearing was conducted to determine whether approval should be granted to amend the
Mohave County Zoning Ordinance to allow accessory structures in the R-M (Multiple Residential) zone,
and
WHEREAS, Section 18, of the Mohave County Zoning Ordinance, does not currently allow
detached accessory structures in the R-M zone. This precludes such things as a detached garage for a
single-family residence or parking shade structures for an apartment or townhome project, and
WHEREAS, this issue arises periodically when a property owner requests a building permit for
such a structure on property zoned R-M. Staff proposes an amendment to the Ordinance to allow the
same sort of accessory structures that would be allowable in the R-1 (Single-family Residential) zone
when the accessory is for a single-family residence. In addition, staff recommends that accessory
structures be allowed for multiple-residential uses when the structures are proposed as a unified design,
and
WHEREAS, proposed new language is bolded and underlined. The remaining language is
unchanged, and
WHEREAS, at the public hearing before the Mohave County Planning and Zoning Commission
on June 13, 2012,the Commission recommended APPROVAL for this Ordinance, and
WHEREAS, the notice of hearing was published in the Kingman Daily Miner, a newspaper of
general circulation in Kingman, Mohave County, Arizona, on June 17, 2012, and was posted on June 15,
2012, as required by Arizona Revised Statutes and the Mohave County Zoning Regulations.
